Stop IP from China

Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total)

  • Hello

    Go to iThemes Security menu > “settings”.
    Go to “Banned users” section and enable “ban user” checkbox.
    A “Ban Hosts” Field appear and you can put in there all the china IPs (one per line).
    Then “save all changes”.

    Each time you see in the iThemes Security > “logs” supicious IPs copy and paste them in “Ban Hosts” Field.

    For the moment, there is a bug in iThemes Security 4.2.6 for wildcards IP, i mean with “*” character to replace a range of IP. They do not work. So you have to paste each IP (one per line).

    Best regards

    Currently you cannot block a Country as a whole without knowing the correct IPs to block. This is a feature we are working on for future versions.

    @Iomars – Thank you, I realised that the wildcard doesn’t work.

    @chris Wiegman – do you want to comment on the wildcard issue. I still get ips to my site, even though the wildcard is blocked, for example

    I blocked:
    112.444.*.*

    and then ips such as this still get to my site:
    11.444.123.123

    I am interested in buying the pro version, but the ip blocking is rather important for me.
    Especially the country blocking.

    Many thanks
